User blog comment:Brigadier Barty/The (Should-have-been) Conqueror of Redwall Abbey/@comment-1298206-20150324231200

I think out of all of the villains who have tried and failed to take Redwall in the series' history, the warlord who I think should have deserved to conquer Redwall the most is, in my humble opinion, Cluny the Scourge. One could argue that he did conquer Redwall, but his victory was short-lived. He managed to make more progress than any of the other major villains in the series when it came to actually succeeding in defeating the Redwallers. As to what he would have done, I can't really say for sure. He might have slain most of the woodlanders and used Redwall as a fortress for him and his horde before going off to wreak further havoc and destruction elsewhere.
